About This Home

As of April 2019

Even amongst the luxury homes of Ettl Farms, this absolutely stunning Colonial stands out, drawing the eye with a barrel-vaulted portico, dramatic arched door, and stone terraces, special with a fire pit and pergola. European-style touches, hardwoods, and chiseled molding elevate interior spaces, like a 2-story foyer sided by formal rooms, a study with ceiling-high bookcases, and a fireside Great Room, where a hammered copper sink adds a hand-crafted touch to its granite bar. The gourmet kitchen inspires with modern French country style: figured tile, yards of granite, cabinets with pull-outs, and fine stainless appliances like Sub-Zero, Miele, and Wolf. The basement is as finely finished as the rest of the home, with a full bath, mirrored gym, billiard room, and recreation area with a wet bar and fireplace. All 4 bedrooms have inside access to 3 full baths; the master exceeds every expectation with both a sitting room, study, and lavish en suite with a Jacuzzi tub. Down the road from Johnson Park Elementary School, and all the fun town has to offer!
